WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE o8cial

sisted of the following letter from Adju-

"War Department, Adjutant Generals
Office. Washington, April 80, 1887. Hon.

Household.

By this time the busy housewife has
| finished house cleaning, the larger part
of the spring sewing has been done, and
she can aow spare little time for the
graz Ification OF her desire to adorn and
beautify her home. Fashion at this sea-
/ son presCribe5 change of dress in the
house and its appointments. Perhaps it
/ is well that the heavy carpets are taken
! up and winter draperies of windows
/ and pOTtiers are carefully folded away
with camphor until fires are needed. 1t
certainly preserves their colOr5 and saves
wearing. This change may also find q
/ convincing argument On the score of
economy, fer With good taste and iudg-
ment summer fittings are as cheap as
they are pretty. To the nations Of east,
modern ae5theticism owes q debt.
From them come mattfngs, quaint de-
signs for screens and curtains, with
light cheap wares, quaint and original in

come in cOlors or plain woven in s:ribes
or figures; they may cover the entsfe
floor or be laid about in woven mats after
the style and fashion of rugs. When bafe.
floors are preferred it is an eass,. after

will convert old fashioned fdrnistas in 20
attractive pieces, and any little a6d5tf<a

by deft fingers. A plain bedstead made
of square timber can be made pretty by
white enamel paint, tracery of gilt, and
delicate vines painted on sides and post,
with poppy flowers on foot board, and
the head dTeped with scTim or madras.
Some writer's on house decorating have

ate civil war. While in the past
favorable action has always been taken
on application properly supported for
the return Of Union flags to organiZa-
tions representing the survivors of mill
tary regiments in the service of the GOV
eminent. l beg to submit that it would
be graceful act to anticipate future re-
quests OF this nature, and venture to
suggest the propriety of returning the
flags, Union and Confederate, to the gu
thorities of the respective states in which
the regiments which bore the colors were
organized for such final disposition as
they may determine. While in ell of the
civilized nations Of the old world
trophies taken in wars against for
eigh enemies have been carefully pre-
served and exhibited as d proud monument
of the nations military glory, wise and
obvious reasons have always excepted
from this rule evidences of past internal
troubles, which, by appeals to arbitration
of the sword, have disturbed the peaceful
march Of people TO its destiny. Over
twenty years nave elapsed since the ter
minatiOE of the late civil war. Many CT
the prominent leaders, civil and military,
OF the late Confederate states are now
honored representatives Of the people il
our national councils or IN other eminent
positions, lending the aid of their talents
to the wise administration of the affairs OF
the whole country, and the people of the
states composing the union are now
united, treading the broader road 20
glorious future. Impressed WITH these
facts have the honor to submit the sug-
gestion made in this letter for the careful
consideration it will receive at your
hands. Very truly yours,
r. G. DRUM,
Adjutant-General.
The Endorsement OF the Secretary OF
War upon this letter IS as follows: ''War
Department, Nay 26, 1887. The within
recommendation is approved by the Pres
ident."
The Adjutant- General will prepare
letters to the Governors of those states
whose troops carried the colors and flags
now in this department, with the Offer to
return them as herein proposed, the his
tory Of each flag and the circumstances
Of its capture or recap,ure to be given.

ton that all the battle flags in the custody

Resolved, that this post hears with sur
prise the action of the President, aud re-
cords its protest thereto.
Resolved, that the sacrifice OF blood

was sacrifice 10 liberty, national union
and to God.
Resolved, that no sentiment of generos-
ity and no expression of magnanimity is
involved in the surrender of these cove
nants of national honor.
Resolved, that 1t only now remains to
direct that the battle flags of the Union
be distributed among the representatives
of the so-called Confederacy, and as fit

of the 'lost cause"
